Have a Question for Me?

Old school ethics; Aggressive representation.

Harlan Schillinger has over four decades of experience in legal advertising with a passion for legal marketing, intake, and conversion. Harlan Schillinger is widely considered the Grandfather of Legal Advertising, being the very first in the Legal field to produce and market Television Advertising for the Legal community. Harlan’s commercials started airing throughout the country in 1978-79.

Currently, he is consulting privately only with lawyers who share his vision of increasing business, being accountable, and obtaining high-value cases. He takes, perhaps, the most unique and accountable approach to intake and conversion and insists on complete accountability within that arena.
